Additional Information:Directories indicate that William and Helen DeSombre built this house between 1924 and 1928. William was a carpenter/contractor and the couple lived here into the early 1950s. Joe Hlinek owned the house in 1956 but had sold it to Carl J. Scharrer by 1960.

2016- "This front-gabled bungalow is faced with brick and displays open eaves adorned with bracketed purlins. Extending across the main (north) facade is a shed-roof extension which transitions on the left (east) side into an open gabled entry porch that features a brick column and porch wall. A modern, four-light casement window is positioned to the right of the entry porch. Other fenestration consists of three-over-one, double-hung sashes situated in openings created by limestone sills and soldier-brick headers.
